Thanks, @Sunidhi-Gaonkar1; as @williammartin expressed #8611 (comment), we are working both through the issue and internally to understand what might be involved and whether we have the capabilities of supporting this.

@Sunidhi-Gaonkar1 : unfortunately, GitHub doesn't have any PowerPC-based options with GitHub Actions to make supporting PowerPC viable. As cli/cli is built on GitHub-managed runners, this isn't something we can support until that situation changes. 🙇

I'm going to close this PR for now while we can leave any issues open in a blocked state.

Thank you again for the interest and contribution! ❤️

Add Linux binary release targets for loong64, ppc64le, and riscv64, these
are architectures that are available both as desktop and server products.
It is also reasonable to assume that they are used by developers as host
machines, where this CLI tool would have been used.

This commit is made with the understanding that GitHub has no interest in
limiting usage of hardware of architectures other than x86, x86-64, Arm32,
and Arm64.

Given that GitHub CLI is largely an architecture-agnostic tool (at least
with its built-in functionalities), that adding binary releases is rather
trivial with GoReleaser, that Golang support is quite mature (and actively
maintained) for the three architectures above, and that i386 is still a
supported architecture where host machines of strictly 32-bit x86
architecture are likely even more obscure, so add them.
